Srila Prabhupada — ātmavan manyate jagat (4K, Enhanced Sound)

They also say that no one can ever be pure, that everyone is doomed to be a sinner. Well, that is: Atmavan manyate jagat. That is the conditioned soul’s qualification, that if he’s a fool he thinks others are fools. Everyone thinks: “He’s like me.” That is nature. Atmavan manyate jagat Everyone thinks others like himself. If he’s a fool, he thinks all others are fools. So these things are no argument. Nobody has seen God. How do you take the statistics? Can you say like that, any statistics that nobody has. Maybe. You have not seen him, the one who has seen God. That is quite possible because you have not scrutinizingly studied all the men of the world. Then how can you say nobody has seen Him? You have not seen the man who has seen Him. He’ll not admit his fault. He’ll accuse others: Nobody has seen God. Why? You may not have seen, but why do you say nobody has seen? You have not seen that person who has seen God. Therefore you say like that.
